The 2025 NFL Scouting Combine is less than a week away from kicking off in Indianapolis.
But before we turn the page entirely on the 2024 season, a handful of NFL pundits reflected on the NFL newcomers from a season ago.
NFL.com's Gennaro Filice took one final look at last year's draft classes and ranked each of them, with the Chargers finishing with one of the highest marks.
The Bolts finished as the No. 3 draft class overall, as General Manager Joe Hortiz’s first draft class made an instant impact in Year 1.
One of the biggest reasons for the Top 3 finish for Filice was pretty straightforward — their first two picks shined from the jump in first-rounder Joe Alt and second- rounder Ladd McConkey.
Filice wrote:
The selection of Joe Alt wasn't exactly surprising; a towering offensive lineman felt like the perfect first pick for the Jim Harbaugh era in Los Angeles. The only potential criticism was that the Chargers didn't use the top selection to address a depleted receiver room suddenly devoid of Keenan Allen and Mike Williams. No matter -- they checked that box one round later with Ladd McConkey. Both picks worked out swimmingly, particularly for the object of Harbaugh's affection, Justin Herbert. Alt and Pro Bowler Rashawn Slater give Herbert a pair of robust bookends he can grow old with, while McConkey's the kind of route artisan who quickly becomes a quarterback's best friend.

Alt, who was named to the PFWA All-Rookie Team, finished with a 94.3-percent pass-block win rate, according to ESPN, which was the fourth-highest mark among offensive tackles in the regular season.
Meanwhile, McConkey set the Chargers franchise rookie record for receptions (82) and receiving yards (1,149) as he quickly emerged as Justin Herbert's top target. McConkey's yardage total was good enough to finish his rookie season 10th overall in the NFL.
For as great of an impact both Alt and McConkey had as the first two picks, what the Bolts were able to find on Day 3 was just as impressive and a big reason why the class was rated so highly.
The Bolts were able to find a pair of starting cornerbacks in Tarheeb Still and Cam Hart, both of whom were fifth-round picks who stepped up when injuries struck the group.
The rookie cornerbacks emerged as young playmakers from the jump and have given the Bolts a promising duo in the secondary.
Filice wrote:
GM Joe Hortiz did some inspired work midway through Day 3 of the draft, snagging cornerbacks Tarheeb Still and Cam Hart in the span of four picks. Despite being inactive for the first three weeks of the season, the ballhawking Still led the team with 10 passes defensed and four interceptions, including a 61-yard pick-six that provided the winning points in the 17-13 triumph at Atlanta.
Elsewhere, CBS Sports' draft analyst Chris Trapasso also had the Bolts near the top of his rookie class rankings at No. 8.
He echoed similar points to Filice about the top of the draft and the work in the later rounds, as Hortiz and his staff were able to grab a number of high-level difference makers in Year 1.
Trapasso wrote:
Alt and McConkey look like future franchise building blocks for the Chargers. I won't be surprised if All-Pro distinctions are on the horizon for those two. Still felt like an obscure fifth-round cornerback yet was far from that label with 10 pass breakups and four interceptions.
